The Future of Social Media

Decentralization and Serendipity in Relationships

In today’s digital age, social media has become an integral part of our lives, connecting billions of people around the globe. However, as these platforms grow, they become centralized silos of data, limiting the potential for genuine, serendipitous connections. At intori, we believe in the power of decentralizing social media to create more meaningful and unexpected relationships. Our mission is to connect people and help them grow on Farcaster, a sufficiently decentralized social protocol, by leveraging interests, preferences, and traits that would otherwise remain hidden in centralized platforms.

The Problem with Current Social Media

Centralized social media platforms, while successful in connecting a vast number of users, often fall short in fostering genuine relationships. Algorithms on these platforms tend to create echo chambers, showing users content that reinforces their existing views and connections. This not only limits exposure to diverse perspectives but also stifles the opportunity for serendipitous interactions. The data that could be used to create more meaningful connections is often locked within these platforms, inaccessible to users and third-party applications.

The Promise of Decentralization

Decentralization offers a solution to these challenges by distributing data control away from a single entity and putting it back into the hands of users. On sufficiently decentralized platforms like Farcaster, users have access to their data and the freedom to use it when interacting with a broader community. This opens up a world of possibilities for creating connections that are not only based on existing networks but also on shared interests, values, and experiences.

Introducing intori: Your Gateway to Serendipitous Connections

Intori is designed to harness the power of decentralization to enhance social connectivity. By integrating with Farcaster’s protocol, Intori provides personalized follow and channel suggestions based on user interests, preferences, and traits. This approach not only respects user privacy and data ownership but also enhances the potential for serendipitous connections.

How It Works:

  1. Personalized Interactions: Users engage with daily questions and interactions that help intori gather insights into their preferences and interests.

  2. Smart Recommendations: Leveraging data from Farcaster’s API and user inputs, intori offers tailored follow and channel suggestions, introducing users to new and diverse connections.

  3. Growing Your Network: As users continue to interact with intori, their social graph grows, making it easier to discover and connect with like-minded individuals.

The Impact of Serendipitous Connections

Serendipitous connections—those unexpected yet meaningful relationships—can have a profound impact on our social experience. They introduce us to new ideas, perspectives, and opportunities that we might not encounter within our immediate networks. By decentralizing social media and unlocking the potential for these connections, intori aims to create a more dynamic and enriching social ecosystem.

blog.thumbsup.me. I always think of it like a blog, but then there’s the instinct to call it a newsletter too. It’s both and neither.
